Is the angle or direction an object is shown in a work of art. Is when lines meet or intersect at right angles. Is when two or more lines travel the same direction, or are side by side. Is a line that is level, straight across. Is a line that goes straight up and down, not diagonal. It is usually at the bottom of a picture and can overlap objects in the middle ground and background. Is the area closest to the viewer in a picture. It’s overlapped by objects in the foreground. Is the area between the background and foreground. Is the area near the horizon, above and below. It is three-dimensional (height, width, and depth).

Is the flat surface on which a picture is created. Is a technique for representing spatial relationships and three-dimensional objects on a flat surface so as to produce an effect similar to that perceived by the human eye. Is a technique to create space by placing object behind one another and using foreshortening. Is the technique of distortion in perspective in order for the subject to appear three dimensional. Is the inevitable misrepresentation of three-dimensional space when drawn on a two-dimensional surface. This is also known as atmospheric perspective. Is creating a sense of depth in painting by imitating the way the atmosphere makes distant objects appear less distinct and more bluish than they would be if nearby. Is a mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface such as a piece of paper, a canvas, or a wall.
